Brockway Centre affords several first
class business locations-a large burn
ed district longing to be rebuilt. AS
we are having manufacturing boom,
let us also have building boom. No
perceptible risk to consider as the lots
are in the most business part of the
village. With rich productive and
thickly settled country surrounding 1t:
with new and extensive manufacturing
institutions rapidly entering, we empha-
tically recommend our village to any
and all prospecting capitalists as a
healthy vigorous business place.
The first thing that strangers note in
coming into q town is the condition of
the streets. If they are straight, clean,
and have good walks the stranger is
favorably impressed. If the yards that
line the streets are neat and well kept,
though they may not be expensively
decorated, the impression of the thrift
of the people and the town helps him
to decide the question, and say, Il will
settle in this town. The officials of
the town have their work to do in order
ing the streets kept neat and clean, and
the sidewalks kept in repair. The citi-
zens have their part to do in keeping
their door-yards clean. Every person
has work to do in making the town
respectable, and they should not fail in
their duty This is the way to attract
strangers to our midst, and make citi-
zens of them. We wonder if all our
citizens think of this fact?
